What does the Parent Navigator do?

You answer a few plain questions about your child and the Ontario Autism Program. The Navigator works out where you stand, gives you a personalized action plan for the next week and month, and sets up a records vault and timeline that protect your family if you ever need to escalate. Everything is built and stored on your own device.

Everything in the Navigator

Six tools. All private, all on this device.

Your answers stay on this device.

The Navigator never sends anything to a server. There is no account. Your plan, records, and timeline live in your browser (localStorage) and in a Family File you can export or clear anytime.

What this can and cannot do

It can: work out where you stand, give you a plan, and build the record that protects your family.
It cannot: predict your wait, promise a funding amount, or give legal or medical advice. Where a professional is needed, it says so.
It never: sends your family’s information anywhere. It lives on your device only.

: No. Your answers, records, and timeline live only in your browser (localStorage). There is no account and nothing is uploaded. You can export a portable "Family File" to back it up or move it, and clear everything with one click.
: No. The Navigator gives context and questions, not predictions. It never forecasts an individual child’s wait or promises a funding amount. For those, it points you to ask AccessOAP directly, in writing.
: No. Everything here is general information with sources. For advice about your specific situation, a community legal clinic, ARCH Disability Law Centre, or the Human Rights Legal Support Centre can help. All are free.
